Darkness entrance examinations in social studies. The most frequently asked questions of applicants. War and post-war transformations

Retired: The status is not quite correct - I was not expelled, but I myself left a month before the end of the second semester, and this was given to me with serious efforts.
Admission and entrance exams. When submitting documents, you should definitely ask what languages this year will be given in the form of study you have chosen (bachelor's / specialist), because you will not choose it yourself, but you can only “indicate what you want”, and then the dean's office will decide your fate. The hairy-eyed women from the admission committee were very surprised at my request to announce the list for my year of admission and searched for it in the offices for about 15 minutes. You will learn about the decision only at the first meeting of the course after admission, and it should be borne in mind that it can be taken far from in your favor, so instead of the desired French, you will study Armenian with a light suggestion from the notorious dean’s office, or vice versa. In my memory, there were at least two cases when, after meeting the course, the girls did not get into the Spanish and French they were studying, but received completely different languages as their first and second. I was a little more fortunate, as they gave me the “desired” language from the family of the one I wanted to study, but this opportunity was available only when entering the specialty. So the choice is still illusory, and the feeling of the impossibility of deciding the fate of your own academic career will still not let go if you are completely unlucky. The English entrance exam is not much more difficult than IELTS, TOEFL or another international exam, so if you have a certificate from any of them, then there will be no problems and the format will not come as a surprise.
The learning process, student life and teachers. My teachers in grammar, vocabulary and home reading of the first (English) language were girls who received diplomas of specialists in the year of my admission. There is no need to talk about the quality of their teaching skills. It was pointless to ask questions in pairs, everything was searched much faster in Google, or classmates came to each other's help, while the teachers hesitated and promised to give an answer by the next lesson. In principle, there was no home reading as such, because the teacher went on maternity leave after the first lesson, and only a few weeks later they found replacements in the form of a fourth-year student, who often could not attend due to her own schedule. Only the phonetics teacher turned out to be experienced, but after the first lesson, she ordered me to break the American accent acquired over the years of self-study, because only Queen’s English is quoted at the university, and it’s impossible to get to individual classes with the only “American” phonetician. Another nuisance was the Russian history course taught by Soghomonyan. Almost an activist of the NOD (and perhaps an activist, I won’t get into this jungle, but with his comrades-in-arms he definitely publishes a patriotic newspaper with a St. George ribbon in the entire front page), he poured leavened patriotic pus into the heads of my poor young classmates on streaming steam for a whole semester . It was impossible to listen to this: there Stalin, Putin, all the Tsars and Empresses merged into one superman, who had no inherent mistakes and defeats, only Great Russian Rightness, Victories and Orthodoxy. Enemies, intrigues, the decaying west. No logic, no emotion. Thank you, but I did not subscribe to the patriotism + program. Of the good, teachers of linguistics and Danish can be noted. And yes, physical education is a must to visit, and the volume of hours is quite large. A very unpleasant addition to an already poor learning experience. Student life as such does not exist, fans of KVN and other fan activism have to be content with the theater and the choir. You can participate in the international exchange program for no more than a semester, otherwise you will cause a paranoid tantrum in the dean's office about the recruitment of agents of foreign influence (seriously). Be prepared for the fact that civic passivity is encouraged in students, so your innovative proposals for improving the learning process and claims for the quality of education at any level will be met with threats and indignation. My good friend, who is now studying at the Faculty of Sociology, chose the problem of homophobia as the topic of her term paper, for which she fought until the official announcement of the change of the conservative scientific supervisor, who in every possible way prevented her from choosing. As a bonus, in one of the classes they were shown films about telegonia and the sinfulness of premarital sex. So if you want to keep your freedom of speech and self-expression, then be prepared to seriously fight for it, or choose a less conservative-patriotic educational institution. The encouragement of such behavior also affects the conservatism of the students themselves - most of them are rather negatively inclined towards everything new and different, and they take MSLU criticism to heart, although they themselves complain about its problems. By the way, there is no Slavic, except perhaps the Ukrainian language. Books are old and literally falling apart in hands, 70-80s. In some languages, teachers write textbooks themselves. And since MSLU often does not have international agreements with other countries that provide for the supply of up-to-date educational literature and dictionaries, you will use printed and bound library copies and dictionaries with outdated vocabulary. Such agreements also provide for the exchange of teachers, so if you are not lucky with the choice of language, then you will not wait for native teachers. This was the situation in 2014-15. with Danish, while Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University and even PetrSU signed similar agreements with Denmark.
infrastructure and administration. Getting a hostel is incredibly difficult, and in the first year it is completely impossible. The buildings are located as far as possible from each other and inconvenient. The main building is old, flawed and no one has been renovating it for a long time. Yes, indeed, holes in the floor instead of toilets. Elevators in the high Soviet annex, where the main array of classes takes place, have recently been allowed to be used exclusively by university employees. The auditoriums are tiny and stuffy, the Wi-Fi in the dining room was removed with the arrival of Kraeva (in my time it didn’t exist). I didn’t eat in that same canteen just once, because it was cheaper, tastier and more satisfying to buy a hot dog or a sub in the stalls nearby. I saw a cockroach, I was impressed and did not come back. Food in all three buildings is standard-municipal-school. The building on Babaevskaya is a nightmare that looks like an old, dirty clinic. It's dark and depressing, with crumbling Soviet furniture, long, gloomy corridors, and a smelly toilet. When it was last repaired - historical science is unknown. The Rostokinsky building stands out from the other two with more or less recent renovations and a terrible location - a beautiful constructivist building stands in the center of a forest park, you can get from it only by tram from the Sokolniki or VDNH metro station (the trip will take 15-30 minutes, depending on traffic), and the only sign of life for a couple of kilometers around is a gas station. Yes, sometimes you had to rush out of it to the next couple straight to the Ostozhensk building, so be prepared to run and get nervous. Although teachers will not scold for being late, as they understand the situation perfectly. You will not be allowed into the university without a student card, there are no built-in or separate access cards, despite the presence of turnstiles in each building. None of the buildings are adapted for people with disabilities to the required extent. The loss of a student card, regardless of the circumstances of such a loss, will cost you three thousand rubles and international exchange / practice. Yes, you will not be allowed to go anywhere for losing a cardboard box with stamps. The administration has not changed even after my expulsion - even after the scandalous departure of Khaleeva, the same evil boors run the dean's office of the Faculty of Translation. At one time, they promised to expel me for piercing if they saw him again (no one else in the world cared about him), referring to the paragraph of the rules for students about “undesirability of wearable jewelry made by piercing”. They will intimidate and put pressure on you for any reason, even an illegitimate one, and in the event of exposure, they will deny everything and run with their tail between their legs. I STRONGLY recommend that you do not have a single conversation with the administrations and the dean's office without the voice recorder turned on. Later, this can save you in a difficult situation. Always rely on the help of your tutor or other friendly faculty/administrator in such matters and never give up. They are never allowed in shorts, so when I came with a huge backpack of literature to deduct in the hot month of May, I was given all 924587 guards at the entrance of the main building from the gate-turn. Calls to the rector's office and the dean's office did not give any result, the first ones already frankly sent me and simply did not pick up the phone. The woman from the dean's office went all the way downstairs to call my parents first and make sure they were aware of my decision (ha, I was far from 18 then), to which the surprised parents replied in surprise, “well, uh, yes?”, and then submitted to me through the railing at the turnstiles an application for deduction. She communicated with me exclusively through him and refused, on her own responsibility, to take me to the library, located right at the entrance, so that I handed over my incredible pile of books. However, I achieved my goal, and they nevertheless let me in, but I received my documents only a month later - and this was in an accelerated mode, according to the dean. To do this, I had to really FUCK them, and not stop running into everyone and running after everyone for several hours. According to friends and acquaintances from senior years, they deliberately delay the process of issuing documents so that the guys are taken into the army. Sometimes the delay in issuance reaches six months, regardless of gender.
Before entering MSLU, I would strongly advise you to think about all of the above. There are good translation faculties in other universities, not only in Moscow, so I would recommend taking a closer look at St. Petersburg and thinking about passing the Unified State Examination in Literature, since it is needed in St. Petersburg in almost all faculties related to philology. It was my old dream to enter MSLU as an interpreter, but in the end I was very disappointed, so don't overestimate your hopes either. It is generally not worth it to enter non-core specialties here, since the quality is appropriate. Information that is not related to my faculty and language is known to me thanks to friends who stayed there after my departure in 2015. The situation, they say, only stagnates or worsens. If you still intend to do it here, then be prepared for great hardships. And take into account recent incidents with the deprivation of several non-core specialties of accreditation, several shifts of acting. rector after the infamous Khaleeva and others.

MSLU them. Maurice Thorez is a world-famous university that has long become one of the symbols of Russia. The university implements education in many programs and areas, but the most fundamental and high-quality knowledge is acquired at the faculties of foreign languages and translators.

Story

MSLU them. Maurice Thorez traces its history back to the formation of French language courses organized in 1906. By 1926, the courses were already a state institution with the name "Higher Courses of Foreign Languages", training was conducted at the Library of Foreign Literature. At that time, the flow of students was great - more than 1,000 translators for government organizations were educated annually.

The expansion of courses and their demand became objective reasons for the transformation of the educational structure into an institute, which happened in 1930. The structure of the new university included three language departments (German, French, English), where teaching was conducted in the translation and pedagogical areas of education.

In the 1930s, the faculty of distance learning and preparatory courses appeared at the institute. In 1935, the educational institution received the name of foreign languages (MGPIYA). The full course of study of subjects was 4 years, teaching was carried out at the faculties of basic languages. Most of the groups were overloaded with students ranging in age from 20 to 40 years old.

In 1939, Moscow State Linguistic University (former Maurice Thorez Moscow State Pedagogical Institute) received its own building on Ostozhenka for permanent accommodation. In the same period, the first textbooks began to appear, research work began, the university received the right to defend candidate dissertations. The plans were big and full of fruitful work, but the war began.

War and post-war transformations

In the summer of 1941, with the outbreak of hostilities, more than 700 students and teachers went to the front as volunteers, the 5th Frunze division of the people's militia was created on the basis of the institute. Despite the hardships and significant restrictions, the educational process did not stop at the Maurice Thorez MSLU. The front needed qualified translators to work with prisoners of war, conduct reconnaissance and subversive work behind enemy lines, and organize propaganda activities. The answer to the request of the time was the foundation in 1948 of the faculty of referent translators.

Students and teachers of MSLU named after Maurice Thorez, with the victory in the Great Patriotic War, acted as interpreters at the processes of condemning Nazism in Nuremberg, and later in Tokyo. In 1946, on the basis of the Faculty of French, the Faculty of Romance Languages was formed, where French, Spanish, and Italian were taught.

Since 1950, at the Moscow State Linguistic University. Maurice Thorez complete course of education is five years. At the end of the fifties, the Faculty of Translators introduces an innovation for students - the obligatory mastering of two foreign languages. The VI World Festival of Youth and Students, held in 1957 in Moscow, became a rich field for acquiring live communication skills and applying knowledge. Since 1961, the courses of UN translators have started to work at the Institute.

In 1964, the educational institution received the name of Maurice Thorez, and from that moment on, the name of the Institute of Foreign Languages in Moscow became recognizable in the international arena. The university status was obtained in 1990, when global economic and political changes were taking place in the country. In the wake of changes, new areas of study were opened at the university - economics, political science, jurisprudence, cultural studies and many others. In 2000 MSLU them.

Here's what was on the MSLU exam in 2012: Text from the entrance test in English - MSLU additional test test

When London first introduced the congestion charge in 2003, almost everyone was in favor.
It seemed a tough but necessary decision.
Only the Federation for Small Businesses opposed the charge, fearing that it would damage trade for small shopkeepers.
Within the first two years, however, traffic in the capital had fallen by about 30%, a dramatic improvement.
The success of the scheme seemed obvious, and other cities rushed to copy it.
Since then, however, traffic has slowly risen and congestion levels are now very similar to those in 2002.
In fact, a recent survey showed that London is now the fourth most congested city in Europe.

Reference: Additional entrance tests taken by applicants at MSLU now include auditing.

The only difference is that now motorists are paying for the privilege of sitting in gridlock.
Supporters of the charge argue that without the congestion charge, the traffic jams would be even worse but, clearly, this is hard to prove either way.
Attempts to introduce more general road pricing have stalled.
The proposal was for every vehicle to be fitted with a satellite receiver to calculate exactly where and when the driver was traveling, charging from 2p per mile on uncongested roads to £1.34 on the busiest roads at peak times.
An online petition against the proposal, signed by over 1.8 million people, made it very clear how the public felt about this latest tax and, for now at least, nothing further has been done to introduce it.

The time to complete the entire test with listening together is the same as with 50 tasks before - 3 hours!
And about the internal exam - everything is true.
And additional courses to prepare for admission to MSLU did not help, because you need to study individually - with a tutor.

Another strategy which has been implemented with the aim of reducing the number of cars on the road is that of introducing higher parking charges throughout town and city centres.

MSLU tutor video: The life of great American tutors. There is nothing more to say about the existence of the Kiche people, because you can no longer see the lamp (book Popol Vuh)

However, the evidence suggests that, again, this is not reducing the amount of traffic but simply encouraging people to drive to out of town shopping centres, where parking is free.
In this case, the victims are the small independent shops on our high streets.
Ultimately all these attempts to force motorists out of their cars have failed and we need to ask ourselves why.
The most obvious reason would seem to be a lack of any real alternative.
Public transport in the UK is expensive, unreliable and slow.
No wonder we usually choose to go by car.
Milton Keynes, recently named as the most car-dependent city in Britain, has a public transport system where a ten-minute car journey during the rush hour can often take up to two hours by bus.
In contrast, Nottingham, the least car-dependent city according to the survey, has invested in 30 miles of cycle tracks.
